Posted by Kelly Walmsley on Tue Oct 1, Collect gallon milk jugs or coffee cans. Distribute them to participating classes or businesses the week before so they can decorate and label their money containers.

Encourage all parties to challenge one another and participate in friendly trash-talking to build excitement and friendly competition. On the first day of the war, ask donors to bring pennies for their jar.

Every penny in the team's jar is worth one point for that team's total. Also encourage participants to bring other denominations of coins and bills to place in competitors' jars. DEDUCTED from that team's total. You can see how this would be a competitive frenzy by the end of the week, especially if the participants can gin up the excitement.

Posted by BRENDA TARR on Tue Jul 23, 3: A friend and I came up with this one a few years ago for Child Abuse Prevention Month which happens to be April. Find a popular teacher willing to participate. You'll also need lots of duct tape. Post flyers around the school a week ahead of time advertising your fundraiser.

On the appointed day, during lunch hours, find a spot where students and faculty pass by regularly.

Set a chair up against a wall so that the side of the chair NOT the back or front, otherwise it won't work right is firmly against the wall.

Place a couple of gym mats or cushions in front of the chair as a precaution. For fifty cents per yard of duct tape, students and faculty can tape the teacher to the wall. When the teacher is firmly taped to the wall, stop selling tape. Announce that you will now remove the chair to see just how long trade vxx options "fly" can stick to the wall. DIY fundraising ideas If you want to, before removing the chair, take bets on how long the teacher will remain on the wall.

It makes the game even more interesting for everyone. We also spoke to our respective health classes about child abuse and the effects of it. Students and teachers alike donated more during class.

We also earned a spot on the school news show. We donated the money to the Lewis House, which is a home for women and children who have been abused. In addition to the school news show, we also earned a column in the Community Action Council they run the Lewis House newsletter.

Posted by Laure Cormier on Sun Apr 14, 8: Posted by Sandra Loosle on Sun Apr 14, 6: We had local charities donate items for a silent auction. We had people bring desserts. There was an envolope at each table, the table with the most money got to pick dessert first. Posted by Amy Johnson on Fri Apr 12, 7: Some of these r GREAT ones! Posted by Amber Smith on Wed Apr 10, 3: All you have to do is pick or draw a design out.

Take it to a tshirt printer and have them print you off design to show people. Make you an order form and go out and sell. We bought some ourselves at first so we could wear them when we sold them. If you make a design that people like or a saying thats popular people will buy them.

Super easy and it is a fundraiser that one person can do by themselves, but you can also have kids help and friends.

Posted by Angel Rutledge on Mon Feb 25, 7: As far as holding fundraisers, you would need to speak to the owners of any place where you want to hold a fundraiser to see what you need.

At SignUpGenius, we offer the ability to create an online sign up for donations, which you can email to friends and family who may want to help. You can get more information by going to the SignUpGenius Premium tab under My Accounts on our homepage.
